Overzealous Thieves have raided the Red Bull
Racing factory in Milton Keynes early Saturday morning by driving a car thru
the front entrance in order to steal over sixty racing trophies! Which has
confounded team principal Christian Horner, especially due to the revelation that
many are simply replicas.
Thus, the robbery of cherished racing
trophies from Red Bull marks the second such heist of memorabilia in Jolly 'Ol England,
following on this summer's Narly Smash 'N Grab of many irreplaceable trophies
from Birmingham's National Motorcycle Museum.
Museum Director James Hewing revealed that the
trophies stolen are nickel and thus the
entirety of the loot would be worth approximately $500 in meltdown, as perhaps the thieves
thought they were silver? (With another set of desperate Bastardos
unwittingly targeting the Red Bull collection likewise?) With
the National Motorcycle Museum posting a $20,000 reward in hopes of their safe
return, for which seems to have gone unclaimed.
As once again, the
general public and more specifically, the phalanx 'O adoring motorsports fans
are the ones who suffer from such illicit vandalism!
